SJS,
Top of the Rock is nice, but a little hard to navigate. The Marriott Marquis has a revolving lounge on top that also offers beautiful views (especially on clear nights) and a nice place to get drinks and talk – not your typical hotel lobby! Miniature golf is a pretty neutral dating place – outdoors, not just sitting around but still having time to talk, a chance to see your date’s competitive side…
On another note, why is everyone suggesting places only in New York?! For LA daters, try the LA Arboretum (Pasadena), the Santa Monica Pier (check out Shutters and Casa Del Mar hotels), Universal CityWalk (not exactly for some yeshivish couples, but a lot of fun), a drive through Beverly Hills or up Pacific Coast Highway, Hollywood Boulevard (Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum, the wax museum), or Exposition Park (Museum of Flying, Natural History Museum, Science Center, IMAX, etc.). From Lakewood, try Seaside Heights in the fall or spring when it’s not crazy busy but still fun and nice weather, or drive a little further and go to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania (beautiful water fountain light show on summer nights). In Baltimore, try duckpin bowling (ask the girl before going regular bowling – but duckpin is less of a problem with tznius) go to the harbor, check out the museums, Ride the Ducks and ESPN Zone.
Good luck!
